Hell, no.
There are a lot of good people there who did not vote wrong

They should do everything they can to get out

If NYC goes socialist will be eligible to have the tag "We had to destroy it to save it." A road that has never worked out. In the end failure.

Mamdani Scores 11th Hour Endorsement From Hakeem Jeffries

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...ment-hakeem-jeffries

Despite Democrats repeatedly blaming progressives for hijacking the 2024 election and swinging the party too far to the left, it seems they're unwilling to learn from their mistakes, since they never make any (according to Democrats with knowledge of their infallibility).

On Friday, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) gave a last minute endorsement to Zohran Mamdani for New York City Mayor - a significant reversal of his prior criticism of the Democratic Socialists of America, of which Mamdani is a member.

Jeffries told the NY Times that while the two men have "areas of principled disagreement," Mamdani had won "a free and fair election" in the Democratic primary - and that the party needs to do whatever it can against the "existential" threat [to their grifts] posed by President Trump.

"Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy," said Jeffries, adding "In that spirit, I support him and the entire citywide Democratic ticket in the general election."

Jeffries' statement came just one day before early voting was set to begin, joining a list of other notable Democrats who've endorsed the socialist which include Gov. Kathy Hochul and state assembly speaker Carl Heastie.

The 11th hour endorsement from Jeffries comes amid intense competing pressures; House Democrats and local leaders who are fully behind a socialist agenda, and others (mostly swing district candidates and donors), who think Mamdani's economy-killing mandates will give Republicans ammunition in next year's midterm elections.

Of note, neither of New York's senators, Schumer or Gillibrand, have made an endorsement in the NYC mayor's race, while state party chairman Jay Jacobs has outright said he would not endorse Mamdani due to the candidate's democratic socialist beliefs and criticism of Israel.

According to the report, two aides to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who's running against Mamdani as a third-party candidate, attempted to convince Jeffries not to endorse Mamdani.

Mamdani: My Aunt Was 9/11’s REAL Victim Because She Couldn’t Wear Her Hijab on the Subway.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...hijab-on-the-subway/

Zohran Mamdani, the far-left, anti-white Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, addressed what he called “racist, baseless” attacks against him on Friday, linking these criticisms to a broader culture of “Islamophobia.” Speaking outside a mosque in the Bronx, he also paid tribute to “the memory” of an aunt of his and suggested she was the real victim of the September 11, 2001, radical Islamic terror attack on the city, as she did not feel comfortable wearing her Islamic headscarf on the subway afterwards.

“I thought that if I behaved well enough or bit my tongue enough in the face of racist, baseless attacks… it would allow me to be more than just my faith,” said Mamdani, who follows the extremist Twelver sect of Shia Islam and believes a 1,200-year-old final prophet is living in hiding somewhere, waiting for a time when he will preach Islam to world.“I was wrong. No amount of redirection is ever enough,” he said, referring to Republican rival Curtis Sliwa alleging he supports a “global jihad,” and independent rival and former state governor Andrew Cuomo appearing to agree with a radio host who suggested Mamdani would be “cheering” if “another 9/11” happened.

Referring to 9/11, Mamdani, choking back tears, said, “I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of New York City; I want to speak to the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.”The bulk of the 2,977 people murdered by radical Islamic terrorists on 9/11 were killed in New York City, with many observers suggesting that Mamdani’s focus on his aunt’s comparatively minor hardship suggests he is out of touch. A Ugandan immigrant, Mamdani only became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018.

It's all just rhetoric . They have no idea what they're talking about. They just know it sounds good.

^^^ And that's the problem!

Wall Street will pull out and move to Dallas.

“A hardline socialist who's the favorite to be the next mayor of New York City has debunked his own story that claimed his Muslim aunt was too scared to ride the subway after 9/11.

Zohran Mamdani said Monday that he was actually referring to one of his father's distant dead cousins, a woman he named only as Zehra. 

Mamdani, 33, made the revelation at a press conference as he sought to get ahead of a scandal that threatens to sink his chances ahead of the November 4 mayoral election. 

'I was speaking about Zehra fuhi, my father’s cousin, who passed away a few years ago,' he said. Fuhi stands for paternal aunt in Urdu and Hindi. 
…
But internet sleuths quickly discovered that Mamdani's only living aunt, a woman called Masuma Mamdani, lived in Tanzania at the time of the September 2001 terror attacks.

An online photo further revealed that Masuma does not wear a headscarf. …”

Zohran Mamdani ‘Promised Things That Were Simply Impossible’ When Running for High School Vice President

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...hool-vice-president/

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the current frontrunner in New York’s mayoral race, appears to have been pushing pie-in-the-sky policy promises since high school.

A recent profile in the New York Times noted how Mamdani first entered politics in high school when he ran for student body vice president at the elite Bronx High School of Science, promising impossible programs like fresh juice from locally-sourced fruit.

“His bid for student vice president at the elite Bronx High School of Science would ultimately crater, with its wayward pledge of fresh juice for all, squeezed from locally sourced fruits,” noted the New York Times.

Mamdani later admitted he “promised things that were simply impossible.”



The son of acclaimed Indian filmmaker Mira Nair, however, did learn about the power of organizing when he successfully organized the school’s first cricket team – an accomplishment he even mentions on his State Assembly biography page.

“In high school, Zohran co-founded his school’s first ever cricket team, which would go on to participate in the Public School Athletic League’s inaugural cricket season,” his biography notes. “This act, though not ostensibly a political one, taught him how coming together with a few like-minded individuals can transform rhetoric into reality. Prior to that, his politics had been expressed primarily through long Facebook posts whose impact was the same as the Yankees’ rings from the last 10 years.”

The success of organizing the cricket team then led him to creating the first Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Bowdoin College.

“Taking that lesson with him, he went on to co-found his college’s first Students for Justice in Palestine chapter and later organize across the country with different progressive organizations seeking to win national elections as well as expand healthcare coverage,” his biography continues. “As life took its inevitable turns, with detours in film, rap, and writing, it was always organizing that ensured that the events of our world would not lead him to despair, but to action.”

As Breitbart News reported last week, Mamdani came under fire when he proposed making all New York City busses free, which would cost over $700 million per year.

Mamdani’s Mother Bragged ‘He Is Not an American at All.’

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...-an-american-at-all/

In a 2013 interview with the Hindustan Times, filmmaker Mira Nair, mother of the Democrats’ socialist New York City mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, described her son as “not an American at all.” Nair stated, “He is a total desi. Completely. We are not firangs at all. He is very much us. He is not an Uhmericcan (American) at all. He was born in Uganda, raised between India and America. He is at home in many places.

”The term “firang,” historically used in Hindi and Urdu to describe foreigners or Westerners, was criticized by attorney and GOP consultant Mehek Cooke. “It’s the word used back in India to mock outsiders, to say you don’t belong,” Cooke said in a recent interview. “Using it here about your own child raised in the United States carries the same tone as calling someone a derogatory word—or worse.

”Cooke added, “When Mamdani’s mother says her son was ‘never a firang and only desi,’ it’s a rejection of America. It’s ungrateful, disrespectful, and frankly repulsive to live in this country since age seven, receive every freedom, education, and opportunity America offers, and still deny being American.

”Zohran Mamdani, born in Uganda and a U.S. resident since age seven, holds dual citizenship and only became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018. Nair emphasized, “We only speak Hindustani at home,” and described her son as a “very chaalu fellow,” meaning savvy or street smart.

His father, Mahmood Mamdani, a Columbia University professor, despises America, branding it “the genesis of… settler-colonialism,” and “the inspiration” for the Nazis.“This isn’t just about identity, it’s about values,” Cooke said. “Rejecting the label of ‘American’ while living under the flag, enjoying the freedoms, and cashing in on the opportunities is a rejection of American values themselves: gratitude, unity, and pride in country.”

Why are they even here? If you feel that way, go back to Uganda. Or India. Disgusting hypocrites.
